Your glads are beautiful. And of course you rock.
That is all😀

1. And your broach always fits the day...

What an incredible lady.

4. Agree

2. She is good!

Haven't WATCHED anyone today, so have to be satisfied with the flowers I've seen near home, not glads.

7. I used to grow them - several shades

although the lilac ones are my favorites. Haven’t seen the bulbs around recently.
If I thought about the cut flowers bought over my life to date, glads and anthuriums would win by a distance. 😀.

10. They were Dad's favorite, and sadly I see them only rarely now.

11. My dad gave me my first rose plant

for my 13th birthday. I was so excited when it first bloomed.
Guess that’s where my growing flowers interest started.😀

Jill is fabulous.

Gladiolas?

8. I remember Ms. Wine-Banks from the Watergate hearings

I was a teenager on the cusp of voting for the first time during the Watergate catastrophe.

Ms. Wine-Banks had a critical interview that I remember because I'm a nerd.

"...she was responsible for cross-examining President of the United States Richard Nixon's secretary Rose Mary Woods about the 18+1⁄2 minute gap on the Watergate tapes..."

It was one of the most bald-faced lies ever until Trump!

Ms. Wine-Banks is a treasure. She's also a consummate professional.

"In 1977, President Jimmy Carter nominated her to serve as General Counsel of the Army, and she subsequently held that post until 1980."

"In 1987, she became the executive director of the American Bar Association, the first woman to hold that position."

She also wears the coolest pins!

9. She's also quite the home

decorator.
Thanks for a lovely post thanks
